Anthony Loiacano Obituary
Capt. Anthony "Chubby" Loiacano, 87 husband of the late Cynthia A. Loiacano, passed away peacefully with his children by his side on Thursday evening, September 1, 2022. He was born in Gloucester on April 9, 1935, son of the late Jerome Loiacano and Anna Maria Loiacano (Pallazolla).
Anthony spent his life fishing and was a very respected fishing Captain. It truly was his passion. He told many stories about the ports he had been to and the close calls he had out at sea. Everyone would be on the edge of their seats listening, so intrigued, with his life stories from the sea. The Sailor's Choice was his most recent fishing vessel that he docked at their home on Rocky Neck. After retirement Chubby and Cynthia enjoyed entertaining their family and friends at their home. He was a fantastic cook and enjoyed feeding loved ones and his mischievous sense of humor will be missed by many.
